This document summarizes Samuel Hahnemann's 1796 essay introducing homeopathic principles of using medicines that produce symptoms similar to the disease being treated. The summary discusses Hahnemann's view that medicines should be tested on healthy individuals to understand their effects before being used to treat diseases. It also covers his proposal that chronic diseases could be cured by remedies capable of producing similar symptoms experimentally. The summary is under 3 sentences.

• To go through the various chapters of the
book, get the plan and try to understand the key
concepts and information shared by the author…
• Thus try to explore the scientific pathy, critical
views…
• Importance in terms of relevance to exam and
relevance to practice…
• To evaluate characteristics of Sir Hahnemann as
the book contains major short or long publications
either as reply or motivated through his intense
internal feelings…
8. Intended to share
With laymen and medical man
(American)
About
The genius and the genuine compassion of the
renowned founder of homoeopathy.
The reader will not fail to be impressed with the
noble benevolence, as well as the natural and
acquired talents of Hahnemann.
9. Starting from the papers were written while
the author still belonged to the old
school, and at a period several years
previous to the discovery of the
homoeopathic principle of cure
The journey as reader
discloses his characteristics as a person, as a
chemist, as a physician of healing art, as a
dietician and psychologist
10. The most intelligent critics of all schools who are
familiar with his literary works, entertain the
opinion that he was one of the most profound
thinkers, the most learned and intelligent writers
of his day, even when he is judged by those
productions which have no special bearing upon
homoeopathy.
11. Since the days of Hippocrates, there were very few
whose opinions have stood the test of half a
century so triumphantly as those of Samuel
Hahnemann.
It is almost impossible for any single man, however
exalted his genius and talents, to arrive at
absolute perfection, or to remain entirely free
from errors; but in the instance of Hahnemann,
we might almost claim an exception to the rule.
12. But while we claim for Hahnemann so exalted
a position among the good, the wise, and
the great benefactors of modern times, we
are not so devoid of common sense as to
claim for him infallibility. The wisest and
best men of all ages, have had their faults
and their errors.
13. Intention of author
It is not my intention to enter here into a critical
analysis of the writings contained in this volume,
they must be read by every student of
homoeopathy who wishes to become acquainted
with the master-mind; suffice it to say I have
thought fit to include in this collection an elaborate
work of Hahnemann.
I have arranged the writings as much as possible in
the order of their appearances.
- Dudgeon

…for fol-lovers of him…
…At the age of 86…
Dr. Lehmann of Cothen, to whom
Hahnemann entrusted the preparation of all
his medicines up to the latest period of his
life, and to whom I (Dudgeon) am indebted
for this autographic historical object.

18. “To Hofrath Lehmann,
Dear friend,
I beg you to send me the third trituration in
powder of the medicines in the accompanying
list, which you have not yet sent me, and to give
them to Amelia, she will bring them with her to
me, along with a few lines from your pen, so the I
may see they your are still alive, and that you are
well and happy, and also how your dear family are.
Both of us here are will, and send you all our
hearty regards.
Yours
Sam. Hahnemann”
19. As the student of Homeopathy
• To know the father - founder
• Homoeopathy as a science of healing, still
struggling at a general as well as individual level…
• What makes us and author to proclaim the most
scientific method of healing…
• The actual journey of following the evidences and
reaching to clarity, confidence and controversy…
• The way of exploration of science and acceptance
and rejection by current contemporary …
• The reactions & results…
• This is an attempt of critical & study
20. For our Master…
His description of disease, his thorough
knowledge of ancient languages, and of
the medical acumen, and above all his
acknowledged benevolence and
integrity, would have secured for him a
position among the great men of his
century under any circumstances.

22. THE FRIEND OF
HEALTH
By
Samuel Hahnemann
Doctor of medicine, member of the
academy of science of Montz and of
the economical society of Leipzig
23. • In two parts
– First part – published at Frankfort , 1792
– Second part – published at Leipzig, 1795
• …indeed I should like to know if there is
any condition in life, where some medical
knowledge and some care for our own and
our neighbor's health are not necessary, of if
it is ridiculous or humiliating, beyond the
mere rude routine of our actual business, to
devote some time to the finer but often not
less important study of the structure and
modes of preservation of the human body.
24. Oh! That in the following pages I were so
fortunate as to be able to contribute
something to the happiness of mankind, if
they would listen to the voice of a warm
friend of his fellow creatures, as if it were the
voice of a friend!

26. • Bite of mad dogs…speaks of the erroneous
opinions held by the public regarding the
existence of specifics in rabbis particularly
internal medicines as advocated by many
clinicians. Hahnemann asks, “can a medicine
be extolled as infallible that has not cured ten
cases of his disease?”
• In a footnote he suggests belladonna as a
theoretical antidote, “but it must be so strong
that two grains of it are sufficient to causes in
a healthy individual, troublesome symptoms.”
27. • Protection against infection… is common
sense advice to those meeting contagious
disease, keep well, eat well and avoid
fatigue. The fumigation of the sick room is
of no value but frequent changes of air are
all important.
• Old women‟s philosophy… is an interesting
explanation of popular superstitions such as
the dirty stocking around the neck” in sore
throat, which he says is a way to bring
warmth to the cervical glands and in not
unreasonable.
28. • A very sound, almost modern discussion, through
faulty in chemistry and physics, is found in “things
that spoil the air”.
• “dietetic conversation” is a rational discussion of
dietary measures stressing individualization in diet
prescription and more careful observation and
questioning.
• That nature is capable of herself to evacuate bowel
contents and “infinitely better than can be done by
our own art” is massage in “an occasional
purgative”. Is should be noted that those advises he
gives in an age when evacuation of morbid products
was the widely popular, accepted and considered as
the logical therapy.
29. • In “on making the body hardy”, Hahnemann suggests
the union of the peasant constitution with a good
cultivation of the mind as the “ne plus ultra of a
rational and suitable education.” this is one of the best
examples of freethinking present in any medical
literature of the time.
• To see clearly a problem in epidemiology is the task of
a medical man thoroughly trained in public health
measures. In 1795 Hahnemann presented a series of
rules in „plans for eradicating a malignant fever”
which will stand the test of today's requirements. With
stilted phraseology and interrogatory expressions he
outlines a contagious hospital with the problem of
isolation adequately solved. “they the infected cases
belong to the state until they are rendered innocuous”.
The goal of the public health officer is visualized.
30. • Immediately following is “on the prevention
of epidemics” which is an excellent
discussion of the origin and spread of
epidemics and advice are as: avoiding all
group gatherings, isolate people even
indisposed; and much more in the same vein
show how adequately Hahnemann had
considered the problem of contagion.
• An unusual dissertation on temperance is
given in “on the satisfaction of our animal
requirements.”
31. • “a nursery” displays great common sense
about baby feeding and infant hygiene. It
revels the rarity of disease due to
“teething”, and is excellent even by present-
day standards.
• In “on the choice of Family physician” he
suggests as family physician one who
prescribes few, generally single medicines in
their natural state.
33. Essay on a new principle for
ascertaining the curative powers of
drugs
With a few glances at those
hitherto employed
From Hufeland‟s journal
Vol. II, Part III
1796
34. Chemistry
• It cannot directly point out the medicinal
powers, yet it can do this indirectly.
• …given examples may suffice to show that
chemistry cannot be excluded from a share in the
discovery of the medicinal powers of drugs. But…
• Experiences shows that saltpetre, for
instance, which our of the body is so highly
antiseptic, shows exactly opposite qualities in
putrid fever and in tendency to gangrene…
• The reason I may mention though out of place
here, is that it weakens the vital powers.
35. • Still worse for the materia medica was the
advice of those who sought to ascertain the
medicinal powers of its various agents by
mixing the unknown drugs…
• Even the injection of drugs into the blood
vessels of animals is for the same reason a
very heterogeneous and uncertain method.
36. No absolute specific remedy for
individual diseases…
• …before I explain myself further, I must, in
order to prevent misapprehension, distinctly
declare that I do not expect, and do not
believe, there can be a thoroughly specific
remedy for any disease, of such and such a
name, burdened with all the
ramifications, concomitant affections and
variations, which, in pathological works, are
so often inconsiderately detailed as essential
to its character, as invariably pertaining to it.
37. ..three methods…
1. To remove or destroy the fundamental
cause…
• Killing the tape worm…etc
2. Opposite
• Constipation with laxatives
• Palliative
• Ever increasing doses…
• Temporary
38. …the third way…
• …I am not the singular in warning against this
fatal practice… the better more discerning, and
conscientious physicians, have from time to time
sought for remedies for chronic disease.
• NOTHING THEN REMAINS BUT TO TEST
THE MEDICINES WE WISH TO
INVESTIGATE ON THE HUMAN BODY
ITSELF.
• The necessity perceived in all the ages but the false
path followed.
• …thick books are to be found a monstrous number
of mostly powerless medicines.
39. The true physician
• …whose sole aim is to perfect his art, can
avail himself of no other information
respecting medicines, than…
• First what is the pure action of each by itself
on the human body?
• Second what do observation of tits action in
this or that simple or compels disease
teaches us?
40. • A complete collection of such
observations, with remarks on the degree of
reliance to be placed on their
reporters, would, if I mistake not, be the
foundation stone of a materia medica, the
sacred book of its revelation.
• In them alone can the true nature, the real
action of medicinal substances be
methodically discovered; from them alone
can we learn in what cases of disease they
may be employed with success and
certainty.
41. • But as the key for this is still
wanting, perhaps I am so fortunate as to be
able to point our the principle, under the
guidance of which the lacunae in medicine
may be filled up, and the science perfected
by the gradual discovery and application, on
rational principles, of a suitable remedy for
each disease conditions especially chronic.
• So on one hand we require to know, the
disease of human race with its accidental
complications, and other hand the pure
effects of the drugs, its doses, form etc.
43. …New principle of cure…
…now, as such a chronic
disease can only be cured by
a remedy capable of
developing a disease of
similar character…
44. Are the obstacles to certainty
and simplicity in practical
medicine impossible?
Hufeland‟s journal
Vol. IV Part IV
Page 106
45. • Obedience of the pt
• Diet and regimen
• Climate, weather, state of the barometer, etc.
• Medicines
46. I myself felt the external hindrances to our art
more than I could have wished; they
continually beset my sphere of action; and
I, too, long considered them
insurmountable, and had almost made up
my mind to despair, and to esteem my
profession as but the sport of inevitable
accident and insuperable obstacles, when
the thought arose within me,
“are not we physicians partly to blame for the
complexity and the uncertainty of our art?”
47. • In acute diseases, the awakened instinct of
the pt is often considerably wiser than
physician who does not consult nature in his
prescription.
• In chronic diseases, We can not cure him by
any system of diet, for his disease is not
produced by any errors of the sort.
• Why then, should we make any change?
48. • If it be necessary to make considerable
changes in the diet and regimen, the
ingenious physician will do well to mark
what effect such changes will have on the
disease, before he prescribes the mildest
medicine.
49. I do not believe that it is the smallness of our
knowledge, but only the faulty application of
it, that hinders us from approaching, in
medical science, nearer to certainty and
simplicity.
Similimum acts in all winds, all storms, all
states of the barometer, all humidity of the
atmosphere, during his now increased
domestic, manufacturing and traveling
business, in the midst of the oil vapor and
that without any important change in his
diet, or any in his place of house.
50. I have no hesitation in asserting that whenever
two medicines are mingled together, they
almost never produce each its own action on
the system, but one almost always different
from the action of both separately – an
intermediate action, a neutral action – if I
may be allowed to borrow the expression
from chemical language.
The more complex our receipts, the more
obscure will it be in medicine.
51. Are we in earnest with our art?
• Then let us make a brotherly compact, and
all agree to give but one singe, simple
remedy at a time, for every single
disease, without making much alteration in
the mode of life of our pt. and then let us use
our eyes to see what effects this or that
medicine has, how it does good, or how it
fails. Is not this as simple a way of getting
over the difficulty as that of Columbus with
the egg?
52. • Dare I confess, that for many years I have
never prescribed anything but a single
medicine at once, and have never repeated
the dose until the action of the former one
had ceased.
• Dare I confess, that, in this manner, I have
been very successful, and given satisfaction
to my patients, and seen things which
otherwise I never would have seen.
53. Had I been in Galileo‟s place, who
can tell but this might have rejected
the idea of the earth revolving
round the sun!

“…these observation are from the pen of one of the

as long as literary country makes the highways
unsafe,‟ will not permit his name to
appear, which, in my opinion is a good plan, in
cases where reason aid not the authority of names
are to decide. I must, however, observe that the
author has read nothing either for or against the
Brunonian system, and therefore we may be all the
more certain that we have here the unprejudiced
opinion on this subject of a practical physician of
matured experience and reflection.”

62. • Professional jealousy
• ..ever sadder, ever more gloomy, without friendliness
and good-fellowship among its professor, it will
remain but a bungling art for another century.
• Truth and the weal of humanity should be the only
motto…
• About cinchona experiences…
• Those around me must be impressed with the belied
that I am infallible, that I embrace the whole sphere
of the art, as i hold a ball in my hand, that the inmost
secrets of medical science lie clearly open to my all
seeing eyes, like seed receptacles of an apple cut
through the middle.
63. • Is this the way one colleague treats another
in Germany?
• Dr. Muller
• It is undoubtedly true that truth penetrates
even thorough the thickest clouds of
prejudice, but the often too tedious conflict
of the opposing elements conveys a
disagreeable, a discouraging impression to
the mind. Thus at the commencement of my
career, on account of my discovery of the
best anti venereal medicine, the soluble
mercury, I was abused in the most vulgar
manner.
64. • “may these remarks of the illustrious master
ever be remembered by American
physicians, and whenever envy or other
unworthy feelings prompt them to
calumniate their brethren, may this lash of
Hahnemann fall upon their unworthy
backs.” – Ame. P.

66. You ask me urgently…
• What effect can 1/100000 part of a grain of
belladonna have?
• The word can is disgusting to me, and apt to
lead to misconceptions… but thank god, it is
well known that our materia medica owe their
origin to anything but pure experience, that
they are often the inanities of our great-grand-
fathers, un-inquiringly repeated by their great-
grandsons.
• Let us not, then, interrogate the
compendiums, let us ask nature: what effect
has 1/100000 of a grain of belladonna?
67. • Mechanism of cure by producing the similar
disease
• To know the action of the remedy on healthy
human beings…in detail…

practice of his time. He criticizes the
sources from which the knowledge of
materia medica was acquired.
• He gives the logical explanation of why
anatomy, chemistry, physiology can not be
the basis of theories of the causes of disease
or its treatment.
• he criticized used of multiple drug at a time.
• The weakness of medical science can be
easily understood by its failure to cure
chronic disease.
73. • Medicine of experience is rightly called the „precursor of
Organon of medicine‟ and in this content it has a fair
similarity with it.
• Translated by Bradford as a new system of based on
experience.
• Body itself is not able to fight with the natural disease. The
nature has limited capacity in only few instances. We can not
imitate her. Complete individualization is necessary for cure
since diseases are dissimilar and innumerable.
• First statement regarding “itch and possibly the anterpartum
state of the Psora theory”
• Very interesting explanation is given as to why certain animal
and vegetable material that are used as foods. The author says
that heat, drying, fermentation etc. change these substance so
that no power is left.
• “internal sense that presides over the maintenance of life will
cure after it is awakened by medicine.”

whole world, that the medical art standing
need of a through reform from head to

There is no science, no art, not even any

86. TO A CANDIDATE FOR
THE DEGREE OF MD
From the Allegem. Der Deutschen,
No. 227
1809
87. You are quite right to learn all these
things, and to take notes of them. We ought
to know what our predecessors and
contemporaries had imagined…only ask
yourself, if you knew all that off by
heart, would you be able by means of it to
form an accurate conception of the disease
and could it aid you to cure the disease?
92. What life is can only be known empirically
from its phenomena and manifestations, but no
conception of it can be formed by any
metaphysical speculations a priori; what life is, in
its actual essential nature, can never be ascertained
nor even guessed, by mortals.
• These abnormal matters that shew themselves in
disease are consequently merely products of the
disease itself, which, as long as the malady retains
its present character, must of necessity be
secreted, and thus constitute a portion of the
morbid signs; they are merely effects and only
manifestations of the existing internal ill-health.
93. …now because the disease are only dynamic
derangements of our health and vital
character, they cannot be removed by man
otherwise than by means of agents and
powers which also are capable of producing
dynamical derangements of the human
health…

A girl plunged into grief by the death of
her companion, if taken to see a family
where the poor, half-naked children have
just lost their father, their sole support, does
not become more sorrowful from witnessing
this touching scene, but is thereby consoled
for her own smaller misfortune; she is cured
of her grief for her friend.

one of the forms of disease already existing in
pathological works; whose earnest desire it is to
investigate the peculiar character of the disease
before him, in order to be able to restore the pt with
certainty, the honest physician will observe his pt
minutely, with all his sense, will make the pt and his
attendants detail all hi sufferings and symptoms, and
will carefully note them down without adding
anything to or taking anything from them;

116. REMARKS ON THE
EXTREME ATTENUATION
OF HOMOEOPATHIC
MEDICINES
From Archiv. F. Hom. Heilk
Vol. XI
1831
117. • These remarks occur in form of postscripts
appended to a paper by Graf Von Korsakoff. in
this paper author mentioned that he had
diluted medicines up to the 150th, 1000th, 1500th
attenuation, and found that degree of dilution
quite efficacious.
• He starts the idea that possibly the material
division of the medicinal substance attains its
limit at the their or sixth dilution, and that the
subsequent attenuations obtain their medicinal
properties by a kind of infection or
communication of the medicinal power.
